“And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.”

-C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, Book 2, Chapter 3

It would be so much easier & faster to simply validate them at the polling booth.

[Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk @LACountyRRCC]

Many voters choose to return their Vote by Mail ballot on Election Day. Those ballots are valid and deserve the same level of care, security, and verification as every other ballot cast in the election.

Taking the time for work ensures every eligible vote is counted accurately.

Strange that lgbtq+ people would be upset about encouraging faithfulness in marriage. I would have thought being faithful to your family/spouse would be something even they would support

@RalphCHancock I find @DanEllsworthVA to be a profoundly serious thinker. Everything he writes is in the category of must read.

“In addition to overreliance on AI, Garcia also pointed out that many students are underprepared mathematically, a concern echoed by campus associate teaching professor Gireeja Ranade…

Both Garcia and Ranade have joined more than 1,300 UC faculty in signing a petition calling for the reinstatement of ACT and SAT standardized testing scores for STEM admissions in the UC system. The petition and its accompanying open letter detail similar concerns with students’ mathematical preparation.”

@saeverley Because all the other green energy stuff is non-fuctional nonsense. I feel like I'm living through Atlas Shrugged.

Currently, the former Speaker of the CA Assembly is in 5th place with about 65k fewer votes than a woman with no visible campaign. Endorsing the man who got the teachers' union support is a no-brainer after years of taking their money while public schools continued to fail.

Yesterday, we made history.

Certain politicians think they can move lines around on a map and choose your representative for you. But they forgot one thing. We still get to vote.

[Lance Christensen @lancelands]

@matthewrquan More dream board material.

[Lance Christensen @lancelands]

The legacy media, folks, endorsing a candidate who didn't make the Top Two in the governor's race by a mile the morning after.

While it's still up, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that this was a pre-programmed story. Maybe AI made them post this? Is the social media intern getting fired?

[The Sacramento Bee @sacbee_news]

McClatchy endorses Katie Porter for California governor. Here's what to know https://t.co/Pff3lvoE1n

The thread below is an incredible exposition of pure, unadulterated power in the hands of a few privileged politicos.

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

Holy.

@SJSU knowingly recruited a man to give them a competitive edge. The coach lied & hid it from the team.

He went as far as to say anyone who disagrees with his allowance to play "needs to get therapy & leave SJSU."

Pull federal funds NOW. https://t.co/6zVESIvTtk

@joegarofoli Broke the story? That they supposedly knew for years? Please explain that to me.

Tom Steyer tonight: "This race, more than any other in recent memory, laid bare the basic operating principle of American politics, a very uncomfortable truth: Money talks."
Having spent more than $200M, one could say he's hoping that's true.

@agraybee Only in the green rooms of MSNBC & CNN.

Where did the Mahan campaign go astray? @lancelands suggests:
"There are no more moderate Democrats in elected office in California. Once they are elected, they are expected to toe the line and sing from the same hymnal. There is no ability to meander outside the Democratic Party politburo without being punished."

Elections have consequences.

Respect to Samsung not falling for the sunk cost fallacy.

Spending millions on a new HQ in NJ and then abandoning it in 8 months is a really hard decision to make.

“But we spent all that money and time! And now we will have to spend more on relocation!”

Most execs can’t make that call. Sunk cost scrambles their circuits.

Something changed. NJ likely increased taxes, regulations, something…so Samsung took off for Texas.

Will “lose” millions in disposing this property, relocating staff, legal, etc. But will most likely gain much more with the quick decision rather than dragging it out.

Abandon any sunk cost thinking. Pay it zero consideration. It’s always only this point forward.
